Discussion on stubble-burning

Karnal: The IIT Delhi Alumni Association (IITDAA) in association with the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) and Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB) organised a webinar on “Stubble burning: Status, challenges, and way for forward” under Maha Parivesh series of workshops initiated by Dr Geetanjali Kaushik, Joint Secretary, and Convener, IITDAA. In the president address, Ravindra Kumar, IITDAA, said residents of NCR, Haryana and Punjab suffered each year due to stubble-burning. This was a result of mechanisation of crop harvest which led to generation of greater agro-residue. Dr Vikram Singh, IIT, Delhi, said stubble-burning was a three to four-week activity when paddy straw was burnt. Diwali overlaps with stubble-burning.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
